Never let a gust take you by surprise. The resulting heeling slows the boat and causes dramatic side slip. Instead, pre-feather before the gust hits, even if it means backing the jib beyond comfort. When the full-on gust arrives, the boat should be feathered just the right amount into the wind to keep the boat relatively flat.
